One could think that the laser is added mainly for special effects, but the high temperature will set of a number of reactions, including the Maillard reactions. For the the average home cook however, I’d stick with pure vanilla extract!

Haven’t tried it with white yet.

Another advantage is low energy consumption per glass altered and the pinpoint energy and directional control of a laser. A water based vapor would impart a different mouthfeel into the glass as well as implement bitter qualities. Also, I can impart qualities not associated with edible foodstuffs, like laserizing real leather into a glass of scotch. Now you can allow your imagination to run wild with descriptive characteristics because they are now a more robust reality, not just a subtlety.HC

In all seriousness, Chef Cantu would be well-served to articulate the effect of this science experiment on wine. If you’re effectively flavoring the wine with vanilla, why not use a simpler technique? Why not simply use an atomizer and some vanilla essence? Or heat the vanilla bean and stir it around the wine? How does the laser help?

Just saying it’s po-mo is like saying “I said so.” Not very instructive.

But putting these material considerations aside, could you provide us an explanation here of how the bean smoke enhances red wine? And which reds fare best with that treatment? Because you endorse and promote this unusual practice, I would appreciate your articulation of how it actually improves wine in your view rather than simply calling it “new postmodern.”
